The Soundskins are available as MIDI SYSEX data, so you can use a MIDI sequencer or file player to program the Chameleon. Just load the .MID file into a sequencer track, power up the Chameleon while holding the SHIFT key down, then start the sequencer and the Soundskin should be transfered.

Hi! Thanks for the information. I tried and it worked. So the device seems fine.

Well , I downloaded the australis syth, klicked on the *.MID and not on the sys EX, as I though it must be done in order to program the flash, but it worked and flash programing was offered.

Now the australis is running.

But again a question:

Flash programming is a bit sensible, since these devices cannot be rewritten too many times. Is it possible to just program the synth with a skin in the volatile memory RAM, use it without touching the flash?

If you have the ELF file (object file, before it's converted to a MIDI file) then you can do like you ask and download directly to RAM. However, the ELF files aren't normally published since they are what you deal with while you develop and debug.

I wouldn't be too worried about the lifetime of the FLASH device. I don't have the device type and datasheet here, but I'd think it will last for a good few tens of thousands reprogramming cycles.
